After making the signal connection, connect the AC
power cord
to
the back
of
the speaker. Then connect
the
AC
power cord
to
an
AC power receptacle. Turn
on the speaker using the power switch on the back
panel next
to
the AC cord.
The Z-Base 555 has additional inputs that can be
selected from the front panel
or
the included remote
control. These inputs allow connection
of
an
iPod,
MP3 player, CD player, radio
or
streaming audio
system
or
other audio device.
If your home
lV
system does not conform
to
the descriptions
in
this Guide, don't hesitate to
send
an
inquiry to info@zvoxaudio.com. A ZVOX Audio representative will respond with useful
options.
3. Features and Controls of the Z-Base 555
You
can "teach" the Z-Base 555
to
respond
to
your current
lV
remote control for functions like on/off, volume up/down and mute
(see separate sheet
to
learn how to do this). So for most
lV
viewing,
you won't need the ZVOX remote control. The ZVOX remote control
provides adjustments
of
special audio features and functions:
Input
The Z-Base 555 will automatically select whichever audio input was
last used. Use the INPUT button
to
select a different input:
• Digital Input 1 - optical
• Digital Input
2-
coaxial
• Analog Input 1
• Analog Input 2
• Analog Input 3 (front panel minijack)
If the AC power
is
lost, it may be necessary
to
reselect the desired
input.
Volume and Mute
When the Mute function is activated, the display will show -00-.
These controls will adjust the ZVOX Audio volume and Mute even if
you set up the ZVOX Speaker
to
respond
to
a different remote control.
Bass and Treble
The Bass control has a range from -8
to
4.
The Treble control has a
range from -4
to
4. Bass set
at
-2
Note: The bass output of the Z-Base 555
is
affected by its position within a room.
You
may find it sounds best with slightly more
or
less bass than the neutral setting.
Surround Settings
There are three SURROUND levels:
• Surround One ("Sd 1 ") has low virtual surround effect and strong
vocals. Use this setting if vocal clarity is very important
to
you.
• Surround Two ("Sd 2") has moderate virtual surround effect and
moderate vocals. Most people prefer this setting for most program
material.
• Surround Three ("Sd 3") has strong virtual surround effect and

moderate vocals. Many people prefer this setting when watching movies.
Output Leveling
Press this button to prevent large changes
in
volume. When engaged,
it boosts quiet dialog and lowers the output
of
loud commercial breaks.
It also reduces volume swings between cable
or
satellite channels.
This feature can be used along with any of the three Surround settings.
Dialog Emphasis
Press this button to engage a feature that increases the
clarity of most voices.
Pressing Dialog Emphasis overrides the current
Surround and Output Leveling setting.
A second press
of
Dialog Emphasis returns the Z-Base 555
to the last-used Surround and Output Leveling settings.
